Yuma County Intergovernmental Public Transportation Authority (YCIPTA) has been advised that the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 1433 and First Transit will continue its negociations in March 2013.

In April 2012, the First Transit bus operators and mechanics voted to join ATU. First Transit and ATU has been negotiating an agreement since then, and to date, there has not been an agreement on the terms of the collective bargaining agreement. YCIPTA is not privy to these negotiations as the employees work for First Transit and not YCIPTA; however, First Transit is contractually obligated to deliver transit services on behalf of YCIPTA.
YCAT will operate transit services, Monday through Friday only between 6:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. and again from 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., only. There will be no transit services provided after 5:30 p.m. on weekdays and on Saturday. Most routes will operate with small six or eight passenger buses with the exception of Orange Route 2 and Yellow Route 95, which will operate larger buses to handle the larger loads.
